| UGG Boot, boy are they messy to wear I bit the bullet and bought the real pair, now I am sorry. I wore them in the house for about a half hours, after I took them off I started seeing puffs of black fur everywhere, took me a while to realize it was from the lining of the boots. When I felt inside the boot I could feel how much loose fur there was. Then I realized it was stuck all over my socks and the bottom of my pants. I know they say to go barefoot but I liked the feeling with socks better, and my niece said she stopped going barefoot because the fur was getting stuck under her toenails. I can't believe no one mentions that. I asked on my FB page if they were worth the money and everyone that has them thinks they are great, I am pretty sure they will be going back and I am so disappointed.

| Wool and many types of natural fibers will go through a natural shedding process, but I would check with the company.

| Donna, how are we going to have an UGG wearing knitting party if you send your uggs back? They are sheepskin, so a lil loose fleece may shed initially. You are probably noticing it more because you wore white socks??? They do get much more comfortable with wear. Thought you'd at least post a pic of you in them! Which ones did you get?

| I just got a pair for Christmas and I wear them almost every day in the house (have yet to take them outside) and I also admit that mine don't do that either...and that's both with and without socks. I would definitely exchange them.

| I will say that I found my feet stay warmer without socks on while wearing outside BUT look into getting the care kit with the spray to keep them smelling fresh.

| i think they might be loose, so socks made them feel better, LOL Karan the socks were black, everything on the box and the boot shows they are the real thing, my sister said in bare feet my niece got all the stuff stuck under her toe nails so her's shed as well, does anyone else have that problem. I posted the pictures straight from my phone on FB

| That is odd... Now I will say that the one black pair I own are the boots that kinda remind you of converse with the plastic toe cover so the lining is different and thinner in them so I have to wear socks but still nothing gets on my socks. I am on the phone with my best friend right now and asked if she ever had that issue with any of her pairs and she said no too. Now one thing you said raised a red flag... Everything on the box and all says they are real soo did they maybe come from somewhere that would give you any type of clue that they might be fakes?? I know both me and my best friend have gotten all ours at the Ugg outlet so they are 2nds

| Did you maybe get a bootleg pair? Even the best stores can get taken I hear.

| I have all the latest security tags on them and on the box, but they do not smell, should they? I will be calling the Ugg company later today to see what's up I am assuming they are real because everthing points to them coming from the UGG Austraila website

| I have 2 pairs of Bearpaw boots, similar to Uggs. Ive held out on buying Uggs because a lot of people I know LOVE the Bearpaws more. They are warmer, cushier and more waterproof from what Ive been told. My Bearpaws have never shed. I got a black pair for Christmas and I wore them a bunch of times now and had no shedding at all. I hope your Uggs get past the initial shedding stage and become less messy to wear!
